Abstract:
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a chronic lung disease characterizedby excess extracellular matrix deposition and prolonged inflammationthat fails to resolve and is druggable. Using resolvins and theirprecursors for inflammation resolution, we demonstrate a nano-enabledapproach for accomplishing robust antifibrotic effects in bleomycin-or engineered nanomaterial-induced mouse and rat PF models. Targetingthe lipid peroxidation-triggered NLRP3 inflammasome and NF-& kappa;Bpathway in macrophages and the ROS-mediated TGF-& beta;/Smad and S1Psignaling in epithelial cells results in these potent protective effectsat the ng/mL dosimetry. We further develop an inhalable biocompatiblenanoparticle that encapsulates fish oil, a chosen resolvin precursor,with phosphatidylcholine and polyethylene glycol to enhance drug permeabilityand facilitate crossing the mucosal barrier, forming "fish-oilsome" (FOS). Oropharyngeal aspiration andinhalation of FOS improved the anti-inflammatory status, histologicalcharacteristics, and pulmonary function in fibrotic lungs, which wasmechanistically supported by transcriptomic and proteomic analyses.Further, scale-up engineered FOS samples with the desired physicochemicalproperties, anti-PF efficacy, and in vivo biocompatibilitywere validated in different batch sizes (up to 0.2 L/batch). Thisstudy provides a practical and translatable approach to promotinginflammation resolution and PF treatment.
